ALK2 inhibitors display beneficial effects in preclinical models of <i>ACVR1</i> mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
Carvalho, D; Taylor, KR; Olaciregui, NG; Molinari, V; Clarke, M; et al. (2019-01)Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brainstem tumour, with a quarter of patients harbouring somatic mutations in <i>ACVR1</i>, encoding the serine/threonine kinase ALK2. Despite being an amenable ... -
Characterization of the transcriptional and metabolic responses of pediatric high grade gliomas to mTOR-HIF-1α axis inhibition.
Nguyen, A; Moussallieh, FM; Mackay, A; Cicek, AE; Coca, A; et al. (2017-09)Pediatric high grade glioma (pHGGs), including sus-tentorial and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, are known to have a very dismal prognosis. For instance, even an increased knowledge on molecular biology driving this ... -
Characterization of the transcriptional and metabolic responses of pediatric high grade gliomas to mTOR-HIF-1α axis inhibition.
Nguyen, A; Moussallieh, FM; Mackay, A; Cicek, AE; Coca, A; et al. (2017-09-22)Pediatric high grade glioma (pHGGs), including sus-tentorial and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas, are known to have a very dismal prognosis.

Characterizing and targeting PDGFRA alterations in pediatric high-grade glioma.
Koschmann, C; Zamler, D; MacKay, A; Robinson, D; Wu, Y-M; et al. (2016-10)Pediatric high-grade glioma (HGG, WHO Grade III and IV) is a devastating brain tumor with a median survival of less than two years. PDGFRA is frequently mutated/ amplified in pediatric HGG, but the significance of this ... -
Clinical, Radiologic, Pathologic, and Molecular Characteristics of Long-Term Survivors of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG): A Collaborative Report From the International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries.
Hoffman, LM; Veldhuijzen van Zanten, SEM; Colditz, N; Baugh, J; Chaney, B; et al. (2018-07)Purpose Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a brainstem malignancy with a median survival of < 1 year. The International and European Society for Pediatric Oncology DIPG Registries collaborated to compare clinical, ... -
Copy Number Profiling of Brazilian Astrocytomas.
Bidinotto, LT; Torrieri, R; Mackay, A; Almeida, GC; Viana-Pereira, M; et al. (2016-07-07)Copy number alterations (CNA) are one of the driving mechanisms of glioma tumorigenesis, and are currently used as important biomarkers in the routine setting. Therefore, we performed CNA profiling of 65 astrocytomas of ... -
Development of a targeted sequencing approach to identify prognostic, predictive and diagnostic markers in paediatric solid tumours.
Izquierdo, E; Yuan, L; George, S; Hubank, M; Jones, C; et al. (2017-12-06)The implementation of personalised medicine in childhood cancers has been limited by a lack of clinically validated multi-target sequencing approaches specific for paediatric solid tumours. In order to support innovative ... -
Development of the SIOPE DIPG network, registry and imaging repository: a collaborative effort to optimize research into a rare and lethal disease.
Veldhuijzen van Zanten, SEM; Baugh, J; Chaney, B; De Jongh, D; Sanchez Aliaga, E; et al. (2017-04)Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare and deadly childhood malignancy. After 40 years of mostly single-center, often non-randomized trials with variable patient inclusions, there has been no improvement in ... -
DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours.
Capper, D; Jones, DTW; Sill, M; Hovestadt, V; Schrimpf, D; et al. (2018-03-14)Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for optimal management of patients with cancer. For the approximately 100 known tumour types of the central nervous system, standardization of the diagnostic process has been shown ... -
